Mixed-use housing tower with residential balconies, rooftop amenities, and large-scale public art mural in an urban high-rise development

Striking the balance

Saiya
Hatteras Sky
Phoenix, AZ

Linking the transit-oriented Downtown Gateway with a quieter residential neighborhood along 2nd Avenue, Saiya stitches together two distinct urban settings.

Mixed-use residential development with high-rise apartments above a multi-story podium, activating a downtown urban streetscape at sunset
Mixed-use housing architecture with residential balconies above ground-floor commercial space along an active urban street

This mixed-use project carefully balances neighborhood historic preservation and vibrant, new street activation. The new multi-family high-rise consists of 383 units, semi-public exterior spaces, and retail space. To accommodate the desired density while abiding by zoning codes and maintaining a cohesive neighborhood aesthetic, the project team designed multiple towers and walk-up town home units to break down the scale of the block.

Outdoor terraces above the parking garage and the top of the main tower provide remarkable views to the Phoenix skyline and the desert Valley.

To preserve the area’s residential character, our team engaged with the active historic board to design an appropriate project for the neighborhood that still met the client’s dynamic program and vision.
